In reply to: OT - mosh pit posted by Anne in CT on August 2, 2001 at 14:26:59:

Mosh is a sort of dance, in the way that what I've been hearing from
Slipknot, Drowning Pool, Papa Roach and all are a sort of music.

Moshing is done in the low end of the ampitheater near the stage,
thus, referring to it as the "mosh pit". If you have fragile bones, or
no health insurance, are small, or are easily intimidated, you have no
business in a mosh pit. If the adrenalin rush of a fistfight is your
drug of choice, and you have the body to back it up .. it seems to be
a lot of fun (It's like "fight club" with accompanying music).

The mosh pits at Ozz are pretty intense, expecially at Pittsburgh!
Its a dense crowd of people, mostly guyz, who leap and slam into each
other as if it were a cross between football practice, urban riot and
demolition derby. Some mosh pits are fairly friendly, as at Cleveland,
where much sod was ripped from the ground and flung at people, and
Gwyn came back with dirt in her hair for days. Sod flinging seemed
fairly harmless and fun. Pitt was a nastier sort of pit, though ...
many guys arrived drunk at 10 am and started swilling beer sold by the
fishbowl to top it off ... and in 100'F heat that was lethal. The
first fistfight and busted lip was 10 minutes after opening. Gwyn
briefly went to the moshpit there, but got groped so aggressively that
she gave up in the first few minutes.

We advised people to please wait 2 - 3 hours after hennaeing before
going in the mosh pit to allow the paste to completely dry and fall
off ... and many came back with superb stains from the sweating and
exertion!

On the other hand ... one lad went from the tattoo booth to the mosh
pit and ended up with a massive abrasion on the fresh tat with dirt
and grit ground into his leering monster.

Others came back after moshing for their henna. They seemed very
pleased to have moshed ... with smiles rather like those on people
coming out the Roman colliseum after a good gladiator bout, with a
satisfying level of carnage.
